Origo

Kunsthalle Exnergasse Wuk, Wien

Curated by Birgit Rinagl, Franz Thalmair

With works of Jennifer Grimyser | Elisabeth Grübl | Manfred Grübl | Michael Kargl | Arnold Reinthaler | Stefan Riebel | Ignacio Uriarte | Anita Witek

I always refers to the person who is currently speaking. In the same way the words here and now relate to the respective linguistic action, its protagonists, and its situational context. Hence, I, here, and now refer to different subjects, to different points in time, and to different points of view.

The exhibition Origo (At Point Zero of the Point of View) builds upon the “Theory of Language” that Karl Bühler formulated in the 1930s and translates it into the realm of visual art. The aim of this transfer is to explore the questions Bühler posed on the variability of a person-dependent, individual, and thereby subjective point of view and to interpret them in a contemporary societal context through artistic means: Who addresses whom in which relationship and with which intentions? Which different concepts, perceptions, and ideas are linked to one and the same artistic expression? How does the perspective of the producer manifest in the act of artistic expression and that of the recipient in the process of perception? The curatorial research is centred around the concept of the “origo”, which underpins the assumption that artistic forms of action enable revisions of one’s own point of view and worldview by leading the observers to the point zero of the “coordinate system of ‘subjective orientation’”.

Guided tour led by the curators: January 30, 2013 at 7 pm

Corresponding exhibition programmes are decided in a 2-step application and review process upon by an advisory board.

The application and review process consists of 2 steps:

STEP 1 = Open Call for exhibition proposals
[DEADLINE FOR ALL APPLICATIONS: March 01, 2013]
[Online Application Form: available February 08 – March 01, 2013]

Submitted proposals are limited to a text length of 4.500 characters (including blanks) maximum and should emphasize and explain the idea behind your exhibition concept.
Furthermore we kindly ask you to visualize your project proposal or idea by producing/designing one exemplary image (photo, sketch, collage, etc.) of approx. 20x30 cm size that´s to be uploaded as PDF-file.
To evaluate the proposals we also ask for short CVs of the person/s submitting the project (800 characters including blanks maximum) as well as of the proposed artists and participants in the project (1.200 characters including blanks maximum). Give us the most information you can, but since there is a word limit and a limited image area, try to be brief and concise in your descriptions and arguments. Note: do not send catalogues, DVDs, brochures or folders. These extra materials will not be considered.

The advisory board will review the applications and pre-select a short list of up to 20 project proposals for step 2.
Through your own user account you can edit your application. Once you have submitted the application, you will not be able to make any changes, or resubmit. Incomplete application forms will not be considered. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your successful submission. If you do not, please send an email to exhibition.proposal[@]wuk.at.
Please do not call or email to inquire about results. Final results will be emailed to all submitters. No calls please.

STEP 2
These pre-selected projects will be invited to submit a more developed proposal including additional information on the artists and their works. Kunsthalle Exnergasse and an advisory board will then make the final selection of projects. The selected projects will be presented at Kunsthalle Exnergasse in 2014. All projects in step 2 will be informed about the results via email.
